The consultant McKinsey anticipates that artificial intelligence will impact up to 13 billion dollars (13 trillion on short scale) in the world's economic activity by 2030.It is, in his opinion, the greatest advance since the invention of the steam engine in the 18th century.
To this prediction we must unite the fact that almost half of the engineers and developers in Europe will change jobs during this year, according to a SpiceWorks study, or the European Union alert that there are 900.000 NIC jobs without covering due to lack of professionals trained.
These three elements together show a particular snapshot: studying careers or postgraduate degrees linked to technology - and more specifically artificial intelligence - is a quality employment guarantee.
And as in Business Insider Spain we want to make you easy, we have collected ten renowned universities in this matter with their respective courses, differential values and more details:
We begin this review of the Spanish geography in Valencia, whose International University offers an artificial intelligence master that presumes its strong theoretical-mathematical base to understand the foundations of the development of algorithms and other advanced AI systems.
To this most theoretical load is added practical work with some of the most used software tools and bookstores in the industry - as python, tensorflow, keras, scipy or anaconda - in order to apply the benefits of artificial intelligence to vertical to verticalsuch as chatbot, autonomous driving, voice recognition, artificial or robotic vision.
All this, their drivers, using real databases and the latest technology and expertise of companies such as Dell and research centers such as CSIC.
Going down to the south we find this degree of University Master in Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence from the University of Malaga, which is distinguished by its lustrous professors cloister (all teachers are doctors, half of them are also professoruniversity).
It is a program very research and not so much to work in private company, so it is a perfect alternative for those professionals who want to redirect their career towards the academic world.Therefore, much of the teaching burden is focused on methodological aspects of research and preparation of a doctoral thesis, with much more elementary foundations in the technical part and product development based on artificial intelligence.
Halfway between academic research and the business world is the master of artificial intelligence, taught by the Polytechnic Universities of Catalonia, University of Barcelona and University Rovira I Virgili.
This is a 100% taught program that is aimed at all people who come from the field of engineering (computer, electronics, etc..), Cognitive sciences, mathematics, physics, linguistics and even philosophy.
And, as detailed by the organizers of the course, this Master seeks to "train highly qualified professionals and with the knowledge and values necessary to solve complex problems, develop responsibility tasks in companies or initiate both theoretical and practical research activities in artificial intelligence".
The Polytechnic University of Madrid also stands out in the teaching of artificial intelligence technologies in our country, with a postgraduate program in which both the creation of innovative techniques and methods in this area and the very incorporation of these techniques and methods to methods to these techniques toSocial and business reality, creating innovative computer processes and solutions.
A dual approach (as dual are the languages in which their classes are taught) that allows this master to address and solve problems of both scientific and technological nature through techniques and methods recent products of research in the area of artificial intelligence.
If you are one of those who work until untimely or live away from any of the usual universities, perhaps your option is 100% online master who imparts the joining about artificial intelligence.In this center, all classes are taught through the Internet and the follow -up is carried out by a distance tutor that controls the performance of each student.
Despite this different proposal in your continent, there are hardly any variations in content.We talk about a program with a deep foundation in cognitive sciences "and in the three fundamental pillars of cognitive sciences: perceive, understand and act".
Beyond, this master teaches not only to handle, program and parameterize advanced tools for the creation of smart software, but also to design and integrate the systems based on AI with other existing computer tools and systems.
But what if you have not yet started your university career?Is there any degree proposal that contemplates artificial intelligence expressly?Well, the best alternative in that case is the double degree in Software Engineering and Computational Mathematics of Madrid U-Tad.
We are facing an official five -year program that covers both traditional computer development (with special emphasis on the creation of Machine Learning models) and the mathematical theory that underlies all AI algorithms.
"Combine knowledge in software, statistics, mathematics, programming and visualization of data necessary to extract value information that marks the appropriate strategies of digital businesses," they presume from the center.
This private master's degree, for which it is required to have a university degree in Information Systems Engineering, or having a university degree and extensive knowledge in programming, has been developed by the CEU San Pablo in intimate collaboration with IBM, thewhich not only does technology provide to train students but also have trained the professors of the University itself.
Among other subjects, students of this postgraduate course will have to face the deepest of the Machine Learning and Deep Learning, ontologies, artificial intelligence techniques as a visual recognition of images and voice or social vocals or social sentimentary analysis and some programming languagesused in Data Science (such as Python, R or Scala).
Again in the south, we arrive at the University of Seville and in its ambitious postgraduate program that covers disciplines as diverse as mathematical logic, computer science and, specifically, artificial intelligence.
So multidisciplinary is the program that its creators claim to encompass "theoretical aspects with the development of techniques and tools for practical application in computer science, mathematics, engineering, physics, biology and medicine".
We follow our journey through the corners of the Spanish geography to show, this time, in Ávila.And, the Catholic University of this Castilian town has allied with the technological firm Vector Itc Group to configure an artificial intelligence master with a clear orientation to the professional market.
In that sense, the postgraduate course aims to adapt training to market needs, how Machine Learning or Data Science can help.According to the information offered by the University itself, it is mainly addressed to people from the field of engineering (computer, electronics, mechanics, etc...) But also of mathematics, physical, linguistics or philosophy.
The final objective is that students can develop skills necessary for the management and management of artificial intelligence projects, as well as the deep knowledge of the different business models.Not forgetting to train them in the necessary capabilities to provide an artificial system with superior cognitive functions such as language processing or artificial vision.
We end our particular tour of the renowned educational institutions in the Arena of Artificial Intelligence very close to Madrid, in the first university that our country has had.We talk about the University of Alcalá de Henares, where a master's degree and Deep Learning is given specially designed for the business and industrial field.
The program follows the steps of many of the previous proposals (knowledge of the principles of automatic and deep learning, implementation of algorithms in languages such as Python or R, etc..) But it also includes specific sections aimed at addressing the ethical, legal and social aspects related to artificial intelligence.
